Go to Packard Bell's support section and look up the model number, get the drivers
from there.
A few things however, the existing license may not work with your new CD however
so do your homework and double check that first. And with those specks the laptop
will always be slow with XP, regardless of the SP or how it is installed. 256 megs
of RAM is the minimum that is practical for any real usability and 512 to a gig is
better, it can use 192 just to sit there and let you look at the desktop.
